My invention consists of a kettle constructed with an inner receptacle a and an outer receptacle 1) to contain water which is required to be heated. The outer receptacle Z) is of the usual shape having a spout 0, also a safety valve (Z. The inner receptacle 0, is fixed to the top 6 of the kettle by means of a vertical hopper f through which the kettle is filled with water; the said hopper f is provided with an outlet g at the bottom, and the usual cover it at the top. The water required to be boiled passes through the hopper 7 into the outer receptacle 6 filling the same. The water then fiow's through a syphon 2' into the inner receptacle a. The
